I Will Be Happy When!

Chasing Happiness

We all know the saying “I will be happy when”, this saying is deep rooted in our Western society. We are forever being sold the next thing, the next program, the next retreat only to find the happiness fleeting from us. We chase happiness outside of ourselves and no wonder, here in the West we are constantly bombarded with images that we are never good enough.

I will be happy when I find the next relationship/love! This is most likely doomed to fail as the core issue is searching for your happiness in the next person, as if they will provide that for you. Yes they will for about three to six months and then you will probably find yourself back in the unhappy pattern.

Happiness starts with you inside, now this is hard. We have been taught to always seek happiness outside of ourselves, now we have to turn inward. We search for happiness in wanting, wanting the next job, house, car, relationship, pay raise, promotion, once attained these all bring on a new set of issues.

Happiness is a constant state of being, one has to reach a state of being happy for happiness to occur in a relationship, job, promotion it has to happen inside first then manifest into the outer portions of your life. Happiness is a high vibration and to maintain this vibration one needs to clear old patterns and wounds out of their life. This is where the hard work comes into play, it takes courage to do the inner healing work. There are not many Energy Healers that can guide one into healing the emotional wounds inflicted upon us many in our childhood, courtesy of our parents. I know, I have had to clear many mother issues through EFT Tapping, journaling, shamanic journeys and yoga.

Daily gratitude for what you have is needed and not a desire for the things that you don’t have is a corner stone of happiness. I have found there is an even higher level than happiness, since happiness can be fleeting. Joy, Joy is an even higher vibration than happiness and just under unconditional love. Joy is a constant and I live in Joy everyday, Joy brings out the true beauty in life. Joy is magical, I can be happy to see an Eagle fly by but the experience of the Eagle brings me joy, see the difference, Joy sings, happiness smiles.

So where are you in the pursuit of happiness? Are you chasing it? Does it seem fleeting? Are you truly happy? these are tough questions to ask oneself. If you are ready to discover true Joy and happiness in your life and do not know where or how to find it, reach out to me and I can help.
